Publications by Amy Orr-Ewing

You don’t honestly believe all that stuff in the Bible! Are the original manuscripts reliable? What about other holy books? How can I know? Sensitively yet convincingly the author addresses the arguments: how can the reliability of the New Testament be in doubt when there are no fewer than 24,000 manuscripts to support it? How can evidence for Jesus’ existence be questioned when the Gospel writers recorded historical events with such scrupulous accuracy? This fascinating study tackles ten difficult questions about the Bible with honesty and conviction. A must-read for anyone wrestling with these issues.

Is God real? Is it possible to know anything, let alone know him? Why do bad things happen to people who worship God? What about the spiritual experiences of other faiths? “Your relationship with God is just a psychological crutch”, “Belief in God is dangerous”, “I used to believe, but I’ve given it up”. All of these accusations, objections and questions have come directly from real-life situations. Says Amy, ‘I hope that the thoughts offered here will help you see what the Christian faith has to say amid all the pain, confusion and complexity of life‘.
